Sloom: Quiet Luxury Shapes Interior Design for A/W 2025

As the crisp air rolls in and daylight shortens, there’s no better time to reimagine your bedroom as a warm, restorative retreat. Autumn/Winter 2025 signals a return to softness, simplicity, and tactile comfort, ushering in cocooning interiors where rest and wellbeing take centre stage.

“Get cosy by layering up!” says Heloise Louw, Interior Stylist at The HomeCollective. “Start with luxurious linen topped by a quilt as your base, then add a chunky knit or faux fur throw – or both for extra warmth. Pull back your duvet to showcase the layers and finish with scatter cushions in warm, neutral tones.”

Texture plays a key role in creating this inviting feel. “At Sloom, we believe your bedroom should evolve with the rhythm of the seasons,” adds Susan Kemp, Design Director at Sloom. “Our minimalist, customisable mattress provides the ideal foundation, layered with soft knits, plush throws, and warm-toned cushions to create an indulgent retreat.”

This season’s palette embraces earthy shades like rust, ochre, and forest green. “Brown is having a major moment this winter,” says Louw. “It’s the perfect grounding colour to bring both comfort and style into your space.” Natural textures such as wood and linen pair beautifully with boucle throws, waffle-knit blankets, and velvet cushions, adding depth and softness to the room.

Lighting plays a pivotal role, completing the mood. Swap harsh overheads for soft bedside lamps and warm-toned bulbs to create a relaxed, ambient glow. Add grounding scents like sandalwood, amber, or cedarwood for a full sensory escape.

The concept of quiet luxury defines A/W 2025. The focus shifts from bold statements to timeless quality with simple, well-crafted pieces offering understated elegance and true comfort.

Bedrooms have become essential spaces to pause and reset, serving as an escape. With families spending more time in bed over the cooler months, having a comfortable – yet adaptable mattress is essential. Sloom’s modular mattress offers flexibility to support this lifestyle. “You get three firmness levels in one mattress,” explains Kemp. “It adapts to your comfort preference, whether you want more support or a softer, cushioned feel.”

Locally designed and manufactured, delivered directly to your door, and all backed by a 100-night risk-free trial, Sloom continues to lead the way in helping South Africans sleep and live better.

“As we move into the cooler months, it’s the perfect time to reconnect with your home and prioritise your sleep environment,” says Kemp. “Good sleep is fundamental to good living. Your bedroom should reflect that all year round.”
